How do you find good part-time kennel help? Laura Thomas Have a great lady that moves in when I leave, stays at the house 24/7 until I return. She used to train horses, finds taking care of dogs much easier. She is wonderfully intuitive, will call when one of the dogs is not acting just right. She does not always know what is wrong, but can describe what she feels and take directions great as to medicating etc. She can draw blood, give needles, and has much patience. That one is high on the list!!! The best part, when she comes, they all wag tails and are so excited to see her - act like I could slip out the door and never be noticed. I am very fortunate. She knows she has a lifetime contract/position here. <<G>> Molly Trillia German Shepherds since 1974 Member GSDCA, GSDCC, GSDC of Beaumont, Life member CKC If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them>>>>Phil Pastoret ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
